Duaa of Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim

by Sayyid Muhammad ibn Alawi al Maliki [RH]

( translated by Shaykh Seraj Hendricks)

O Allah, I ask You through the abundant grace of Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-

Rahim...and I ask You through the majesty and the praise of Bismillahi r-
Rahmani r-Rahim...and I ask You through the reverence of Bismillahi r-
Rahmani r-Rahim...and I ask You through the sanctity of Bismillahi r-Rahmani
r-Rahim. And through the power and the sovereignty and the greatness of
Bismallahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim, and through the exaltedness and the strength
and the potence of Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim – I ask You in the name of
all these to raise me in Your estimation through the secret of Bismallahi r-
Rahmani r-Rahim.

Make light the matter that troubles me and comfort and console me when I
am shattered and weak.

Remove my poverty and grant me a long life with health and wellbeing. Grant
this to me through Your abundant Grace, Your Generosity, and Your
Greatness, O You who are Kaaf Haa Yaa ‘Ayn Saad; Haa Meem ‘Ayn Seen
Qaaf; Alif Laa Meem; Alif Laa Meem Raa; Alif Laa Meem Saad. Grant me (all
that I ask of You) through the secret of the Great Name (Ism ul-Lah il-
‘Atham).

Allah...there is no god but He; the One who is alive, the Eternal, the Sublime,
the Great, the Possessor of Majesty and Honour. I ask You through the
Majesty of Your Reverence and the Glory of Your Power; I ask You through
the Immensity of Your Greatness and the Sovereignty of Your Power, to
place me amongst those who have no fear and who do not grieve. I ask You
through the Beauty of Your Splendour and the Radiance of Your Noble Face
to cause me to enter – through Your Mercy – the blessed garden...O Lord of
the entire created order.

O Allah, I ask you through the great secret that resides in all that which
have been mentioned before, to satisfy all my needs and my yearnings and to
purify me from all the wrongs that I have committed. (Through that great
secret) I also ask you to save me from all hurtful things and to raise me – in
Your estimation – to the highest of all levels and to grant me the best of all
that is excellent and blessed both in this life and the life after death.

I ask You O Allah, to relieve me from the difficulties in which I find myself
and to decree for me the best of that which I long for and intend to do; and
to protect me from all sedition and sins and abomination.

Protect me and my family and my children – and all those who are my
responsibility – from all injury and evil and hardship. Protect me from all
those who plot against me, and all my enemies...O Lord of the entire created
order.

Ameen
